A library is an essential part of any elementary classroom. To run an effective Reading Workshop, it is necessary to stock your classroom library with books of a variety of genres, topics, and levels.
A library is an essential part of any elementary classroom. To run an effective Reading Workshop, it is necessary to stock your classroom library with books of a variety of genres, topics, and levels. Teachers who use the workshop method know that readers need lots of books in a single year, as they are given time to read self-selected texts independently on a daily basis. For this reason, it's important to organize your classroom library in a way that allows students to easily find "just right" books that they are interested in reading.
Read on to watch a video about how I organize my classroom library and how I use it as a tool to help my students evaluate their own reading progress throughout the year. You will also find ideas for collecting more books for your own classroom library, links to download book labels, and additional photos of the library.
Take a Virtual Tour of My Classroom Library!
Using Colored Baskets to Organize My Books
Fiction picture books are stored in red baskets.
Chapter book series are kept in blue baskets.
Chapter books that are not part of a series are kept in yellow baskets.
Nonfiction texts are stored in green baskets.
Basket Labels
All baskets have a unique label that tells a reader what type of books they can find inside. The basket labels vary based on the section of the library in which the basket is located.
Nonfiction basket labels reveal the topic students will find inside.
Fiction picture book and chapter book labels reveal the basket's genre.
Chapter book series baskets reveal the name of the different series a reader will find inside.
Download my pre-made labels and a label template you can use to create your own.
How I Level My Books
I do not level my books just so that I can assign students a color code (level) and then make them read only at that level. I make certain that my students are involved in the process in every way. They read books from the classroom library and try to determine what levels seem "just right" for them. I meet with each student individually to decide upon a comfortable "just right" level so that students can start choosing appropriate books that they can read independently. (Watch my library video for more information about how this process works.) Once a student's JR level is determined, he or she can refer to the basket labels as a guide for finding books that are "just right" for them. As the school year progresses, students are constantly reevaluating what levels feel "just right" for them and reading trial books at a higher level before deciding to regularly read books at that level independently.
A color code sticker can be found on the back of every book.
Basket labels also indicate what color codes can be found inside.
The color codes in my library correspond to Fountas and Pinnell's guided reading levels.
I use Scholastic's Book Wizard to level my books. It provides a variety of levels including guided reading level, grade level equivalent, DRA level, lexile level, and interest level. A description of each book is also provided along with its genre, common themes, and topics you will find in the book. The Book Wizard also allows teachers to create, print, and even exchange book lists with other teachers. You can also use Book Wizard to help you find "just right" books for your students using the "Book Alike" feature.

Collecting More Books for Your Classroom Library
It's common knowledge that an effective classroom library has a large variety of books at many different levels, about many different topics, and of many different genres. That sounds great, but where can you get more books?
One of my favorite ways to collect additional library books is to ask my current students to donate books from home that they have already read. To provide them with an incentive, the donated books are given a special label with the child's name and the date that the book was donated. Students like to know that their book will forever be part of the Newingham library.
Another idea to consider is a read-a-thon. Students can collect pledges from family and friends for each book they read in a month (or a certain period of time). Students can count the books they read in class and at home. Not only are students motivated to read lots of books, but the money raised can go to the purchasing of new books for your classroom library. The kids then get to enjoy reading the books they earned for the class.
Find more ideas about how to collect books for your classroom library without breaking the bank!
Keeping Track of Your Books
Once I began collecting a good number of books, it became important to me that I had some sort of inventory of the books I own. This is helpful when choosing books to read aloud, when suggesting "just right" books for students, and for keeping track of all my books. Since I was using the computer to look up the levels of my books, it made sense to also add the book title, author, level, and library location to an Excel file that I could access when searching for a book.
I chose to print out my Excel library collection file as a sort of "card catalog" for students to use when looking for specific books or books by a specific author.
In the past couple of years, I have been transferring my book collection to Media Collector, a software used with IntelliScanner. An IntelliScanner is a device used to scan the barcodes on your classroom library books. The information is collected and stored on your computer. You can choose to add your own categories to the collected information as well. For example, once a book is added to my collection, I add categories for book level and library location.

Hi Beth,
I LOVE your website, and it has given me a lot of great ideas since I was moved to third grade two weeks before school started. I used to teach all of the fifth grade math, so I am really putting in a lot of effort into researching how to teach reading. Needless to say, you have a lot of stuff that I have already used in my classroom. I have a question about how students check out their books. Do they sign them out somewhere? My students are signing them out but I must admit it is a pain to keep track of; however, I want to know that my books are being returned. How do you manage this part of the library?
Hi Beth,
Would you be able to send me the Excel form that you used for your organization? It would be great to have a template to work from.
Thank you!
Hi Nicole,
You asked about why I color code my books instead of just using the Fountas and Pinnell levels. When I first started leveling my library many years ago, I was teaching second grade and thought that using different colors would be better than using letters. It was my hope that color codes would be less obvious than actual letters. For example, if a student was reading a J, it was clearly lower than a P. However, I learned very quickly that no matter how you level your books, the students know the "order" of the levels and catch on to any system a teacher puts in place.
Still, I strongly believe that students should be reading "just right" texts. There is just too much research that shows that students who are reading too far below or above their reading levels will not make adequate progress. With that being said, it is more important for me to ensure "just right" reading than to just allow students to read whatever books they want to read with no attention to the difficulty level of the book. While I teach MANY lessons on choosing "just right" texts, my lower readers often still continue to read books that are just too challenging for them. In turn, they are not able to apply the strategies I am teaching them when reading these books independently. While I am aware of the stigma of levels, I am most concerned with my students' reading growth.
If you watch the video on my classroom library at the beginning of this post, I show how I really involve my students in determining their "just right" level. I do not simply assign students a level. They must also figure it out themselves. Making them part of the process helps them feel more in control of their reading and accepting of their "just right" level (whatever that may be).
I hope this helps answer your question!
Hi Beth,
I just have a question about the way that you level your books. Can you explain why you choose to 'color code' your books? I have seen other teachers who just level with the Fountas and Pinnell level... do you ever have issues in your classroom regarding students being anxious or embarrassed about the level they are reading? I would love more on your thoughts and opinions on this when you have time! Thanks!
I actually create most of the activities and games for my word study centers myself. I often get ideas from teacher resource books or online games and recreate them using Microsoft Word or Print Shop. I also think of favorite card games or board games (Go Fish, Uno, Sorry, Candyland, etc.) and try to change the game in a way that it can work for learning a specific spelling pattern.
Scholastic has some great resource books for center games. Here is a link to their teacher store: http://shop.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDisplay?URL=StoreCatalogDisplay&storeId=10001&store=TS&jspStoreDir=TeacherStore&src=BTB000000N0010100000&langId=-1&catalogId=10002
Hi: Would you be willing to share where you purchased or how you created the materials for the games and activities you use in your word study centers? Thanks so much!
Unfortunately, your challenges are ones that most teachers are probably facing on a daily basis (myself included).
I remember so well being a first year teacher and being so completely overwhelmed with everything I was being asked to do. It took me many years to really feel like I was doing a good job!
However, with all of your challenges (kids at so many different reading levels, kids being pulled out, etc.), a reading workshop is really the best approach to take. The great thing about reading workshop is that it allows you to differentiate your teaching to meet the needs of your very diverse learners.
I also have a huge range of reading levels in my classroom. I still teach a whole-class mini-lesson everyday, but then I meet with guided reading groups and strategy groups during individualized daily reading time (IDR) to meet the very specific needs of my readers. Remember that your higher readers need to be seen less than your struggling readers. Many teachers try to make sure they meet with each reader an equal number of times, but your low readers should be seen more often. Your higher readers will still grow if they take part in an effective mini-lesson each day and then get IDR time to practice the strategies you are teaching when reading their self-selected texts.
I also have many students who are pulled out for different services. I try to work closely with the teachers who pull them out because I want them to be aware of what I am teaching. This way they can connect my teaching to what they do when they work with my students. I often share with them my conferring notes and my notes I take when meeting with the kids in guided reading and strategy lessons so that they can really focus on the readers' weaknesses. You might also ask these teachers who pull the students out of your classroom if they can stay in your classroom on certain days to support the student within your reading workshop. It is nice for them to see how you teach so that they can observe how you deliver your lessons to the class.
I certainly do not have a "right" answer to all of your questions, but hopefully some of these suggestions will help!
Feel free to use anything from this post (including the video) as well as any pictures from my website in your presentation. It is exciting to know that teachers from Kuwait and Bangkok are also working on building classroom libraries for their students!
Good luck!
I am an international teacher and am so impressed with your wonderful classroom library. I am doing a presentation about classroom libraries, including a lot of information about leveling. I love your video and would love to include it at the end of my presentation. May I please have permission to do so? My presentation is for other teachers in my school in Kuwait, and possibly at a conference for international teachers in Bangkok.
Thanks so much for your work and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi Beth, I am a first year teacher, and I am reading through all of the great stuff that you do. I am familiar with the workshop and how it works, but I am really struggling with how to get through all of our content combined with all of the students that are in and out of my room for different services. When I add in my couple of students who just don't read during independent time and the reading levels in my room which span D-Z, I get stuck. I am trying to make it work, but I was wondering if you might have any advice on where to start.
Thanks, Leigha
I dedicate multiple reading workshop mini-lessons at the beginning of the school year to teaching my students how my library is organized, how to properly return books to correct baskets, how to record books in the reading log, what the color codes mean, etc.
I also introduce each genre during my launching unit so that students can begin recording the genre code in their reading log. However, we study many of the genres separately and more thoroughly in different units of study throughout the year.
I hope I've anwswered your questions! Thanks for posting on the blog!
I am sorry that you are unable to download things from my website. I'm not sure what exactly files you can't open. However, I am suggesting you follow the directions below.
Instead of just clicking on the links to download the files, try right clicking on the hyperlinks. Then choose "save target as." Browse your computer to determine a location to save the files. Once you have them saved, open Print Shop. Once you are in Print Shop, open each file individually. Hopefully this will work!!
Hi Beth, I am so glad another staff member at my building recommended I take a look at your website...you are an incredibly devoted and inspiring teacher to all!!! With such an organized library, I was wondering how you go about introducing your students to your classroom library (how to find books, what the labels mean, etc.) and the proper way to use it? Also, do you introduce all the genres at the beginning of the year?
Please forgive me, my email address wasnt correct with my first post.8
I have tried everythng I know possible to download these files and I cannot get them to work. I would like to see and use the templates to create my own but I am finding it impossible to download even with Print Shop 23. Can you help point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!
You can download my Excel "library catalog" book list on the Classroom Library Organization section of my website. There is a link to it from the Teacher Resources page. You can just delete my books and use it as a template for your own library.
I hope this helps!
You can download a list of the books in the my classroom library on the Classroom Library Organization section of my website. You can access that page in the Teacher Resources section of my class website.
I just can't stop looking at your site. I am a literacy coach with Mpls public schools and this is the direction our district is moving. I watched your library video which is so helpful. I had a hard time finding 2 forms on your website that I would like to start using. One was the "choosing just right book sheet" and the other was the "Trial book evaluation form." Am I just missing it on your site?
Beth, I love your organizational system!! Is there any way you can share your list of books? I would love to see everything you have. Bethany
I was wondering if I could get a template of the excel sheet you used to organize your classroom library?
I am still in the process of entering all of my books into the Media Collector database. This is the software I use to catalog all of my books. I will post a link to my collection as soon as it is complete.
You can find an Excel file with a list of my books from a few years ago on my class website.
Good luck with your own library!
Hi All,
Would you please email me a copy of your book list. I am a newer teacher and would love a list to aspire my library towards.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Unfortunately there is no specific website where I find images of all the book covers I need when posting them on my theme charts. I just use Google images to find JPEG images of the book covers. I right click to copy the images of the book covers and then paste the images in Microsoft Word. Finally I print them out on cardstock and laminate them for use in future years.
In answer to your question about the labels on the back of my books, I put the name of the basket and the section of the library so that students can return the book to the correct location. However, some baskets in the library are named by a specific genre, so there are times when the actual genre does appear on the label.
When recording books on their reading log, the students must determine the genre based on their reading of the text. For this reason, I choose not to put the genre on every book. This makes my students have to think for themselves.
To answer your specific question about my fairy tale labels, my labels would say "fairy tales" (in reference to the basket), not traditional literature. The students must understand that a fairy tale is a type of traditional literature and then record the correct genre code on their reading log.
I hope I have answered your questions!
I love how you post book covers as visual reminders when teaching themes and when students are commenting on read-alouds. Is there one website where you can download all of the covers at once, or do you just make color copies of the books?
Your website is fantastic! I am so impressed with your class library! I can tell you are a skilled and highly effective teacher!
This isn't a library question, although I am in the process of organizing mine like yours...I was wondering, silly as it may be, how do you play Magic e Uno and Word Family Candy land?? Thanks!
Wow! Your post about Reader's Workshop was great! I'm looking forward to your post about the Reader's notebook. Thank-you for sharing. I've learned so much from your website. I'm wondering about the labels for the books themselves, Do you label the genre and which basket the book is returned in. For example, do you label the book Realistic Fiction and Family/Friend Relationships or do you just label it in with Fiction and Family/relationships? Or do you just label it family/relationships? Or for Traditional Literature would you label it with Fairy Tales and Traditional Literature? Or would just label it with Fairy Tales. Thanks in advance :) Stephanie
I'm glad you found this post helpful! I know that I checked out tons of other teachers' libraries before deciding on my own system to use. Good Luck!
Thank you for sharing. One of my goals this year was to better organize my classroom library. I had begun but this has helped to make it even better.
I will be doing a future post on Typing Camp since I create many of the resources I use for the fun week on my own.
However, we do use an instructional video called "Typin' Time." It is a great video for teaching students ways to remember the location of the keys, but unfortunately, the company that produced the video is no longer in business.
However, we use the software program "Type to Learn" in the computer lab for extra practice once students are introduced to the keys. It is great! Below is a link to purchase it on the Scholastic site. It is also offered in many issues of Scholastic's Click software club. After typing camp, I send out Click flyers that offer "Type to Learn" so that parents can purchase a copy for additional practice at home. The bonus points you earn can be used to buy lots of books for your classroom library!

Hi Beth, I was wondering where you got the resources for your typing camp. It looks amazing and I would love to use the video and resources. Thanks!
I'm glad you found this post useful! I purchased my library baskets from Really Good Stuff. Here are links to their medium and small baskets that I use to hold picture books and chapter books.

Good luck organizing your library!
hir books.. !Congratulations I love the way you sort you,,,Where did you buy the color plastic basket for all your books..Please let me know . Iam a Kindergarten teacher and I want to do the same in my classroom with my books...
I do have a rubric to assess my Reader's Notebook, but the way that I use my notebook (including the weekly letters) has changed a bit over the past couple of years. My website does not completely reflect what I use in my classroom at this point. However, you are in luck. My next three posts will be directly related to reading workshop. Stay tuned this Wednesday for a detailed post about reading workshop, complete with a video that shows what it looks like in action on a typical day in our classroom. The post after that will be specifically about Reader's Notebooks. I will describe the different sections of my reader's notebook and provide links to download the updated pages.
Thanks for your comments!
-Beth Newingham
Beth, I am so glad I discovered your website. I have used many of your ideas and shared them with the teachers at my school. I wondered if you have any rubrics to assess reader's notebooks or strategies used during workshop? Also, could you explain the weekly letters. Are they for homework, or a weekly class assignment?
Hi Josh,
My post next week will focus specifically on Reading Workshop. I am even creating a video to show what a day of reading workshop looks like in my classroom. I think some of your questions will be answered more thoroughly in that post.
In next week's post, I will certainly include tips for keeping students on task including a daily self-checklist that students complete at the end of workshop.
In my classroom, students are not allowed to "shop" for books during independent reading time. Instead they must choose books (when necessary) during our morning work period or even during recess if I am not on duty. I tell my students that their book box should have enough books inside to last them at least 2 weeks, so they are certainly not visiting the classroom library on daily basis. If a student finishes his or her books during independent reading time, he or she must reread their books on that day. My third graders are expected to be prepared for workshop everyday. That means they are encouraged to shop for new books when they know that they have less than 2 days worth of reading material left. Making this "no shopping during independent reading time" rule a few years ago really improved the reading environment in my classroom. Readers are not distracted by the inevitable talking that takes place among classmates browsing books at the library, and my small group lessons during that time are now much more productive without the disruption of book shopping.
We do not use a basal text in our classroom. We teach whole-group strategy lessons as our mini-lessons each day, and then students practice using those strategies in their self-selected texts during independent reading time. The strategies are also reinforced when students read books at their instructional level in small guided reading and strategy groups.
I think more of your questions will be answered in my Reading Workshop post next week. Stay tuned!!
-Beth Newingham
I've been following your work for a couple years now and I am so impressed and inspired by how you run your classroom. I teach 4th grade and am trying to get a feel for managing the workshop.
One challenge I am facing is keeping the kids engaged in their independent reading. It seems that I have several students spending their entire reading time looking for books, and not enough time reading or at least trying to read books they've picked from our library or my classroom library.
Also... do you use basal readers in your classroom? We use them to teach our strategies, so I am looking for insight into balancing Reading Workshop and whole-group basal reading.
I would love to hear your other tips on how to manage students during the workshop times.
Here are some answers to your questions:
1. You asked about mini-lesson ideas for reading and writing workshop. The philosophy of workshop is great, but where do the mini-lessons come from? This is a question so many teachers ask. My district is currently in the process of writing units of study for each grade level with daily mini-lessons for each month. While I can't share that here, I can recommend some books that can be useful when looking for mini-lessons.
"Revisiting the Reading Workshop:" This Scholastic book has mini-lesson ideas for the first 30 days. http://shop.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_20655_-1_10001_10002
"Workshops that Work:" This Scholastic book is geared toward grades 4+, but it also provides sequential mini-lessons for the first 30 days. http://shop.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_25425_-1_10001_10002
Frank Serafini also wrote a book called "Around the Reading Workshop in 180 Days." In the book, he provides month-by-month strategies for running a reading workshop across an entire year.
You can also write your own mini-lessons. Just look at the skills or units you have been teaching prior to implementing a reading workshop and try breaking them into smaller mini-lessons.
Remember, during the mini-lesson the teacher instructs the whole class on a skill, strategy, or habit that students need to learn and use during independent reading. The teaching point is stated clearly and demonstrated or modeled for students. Students are then invited to actively engage in trying out the skill or strategy on their own before they begin their independent reading for the day.
2. If you would like to do reading partnerships but do not have enough double-copy books, think about using the school library or even checking out multiple copies of chapter books from the public library. If my students want to do a reading partnership with a book that is only a single copy book, we always check the school library first to see if we can find another copy. Without 2 copies of the same book, I think it would be hard to do reading partnerships effectively. It is important for the students to be reading the books independently but also simultaneously so that they can meet to discuss the common text.
3. When I first started teaching in my district, there was an anthology that teachers were expected to use. However, we have gradually moved away from that since we know that "one size does not fit all readers." Our district has now adopted the Reading Workshop framework, so that's why we are currently writing our own curriculum.
I hope that my answers were of some help to you. My next post will be specific to reading workshop with lots of management ideas and a video of what reading workshop looks like on a typical day in my classroom. Check back soon!
-Beth Newingham
Here are answers to your 2 questions:
1. I got my magazine rack at Calloway House a few years ago. When I checked their website today, I noticed that the item you are referring to is no longer available. However, here is a link to some other similar book racks they carry: http://www.callowayhouse.com/prodsearch1.asp?type=search
2. I purchased my Intelliscanner two years ago. Since then they have come out with newer (and probably better) scanners. The one that I own is not currently available on their website, but I actually think I paid more than the $79 that the new one costs. I have found that it does not have information for every book that I scan, but it certainly saves time. It also comes with the Media Collector software which is a great program for keeping a detailed record of the books in your classroom library.
I hope I've answered your questions. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help!
What a big change going from kindergarten to middle school! Library organization is such a big job. However, it is so wonderful to see your students able to find books of interest so easily once the books are finally organized. It certainly pays off in the end. Good luck! -Beth
As a new 3rd grade teacher, you have given me so many inspiratinal ideas! I have been collecting so many books, leveling them, and starting up my own library. I have a few questions if you have a second...
1. Could you consider posting more mini-lesson topics for reading/writing workshop? My school uses a different reading/writing program, but I really feel that my I could still incorporate reading/writing workshop into my schedule. I would love to know what type of mini-lessons you do!
2. I would love to do "Reading Partnerships," but don't have double copies of books yet. Do you have any suggestions for ways I could still do reading partnerhships even without double copy books?
3. Does your class also read from a basal or anthology? Or do they strickly get to pick their own books?
Thank you for for sharing your classroom and for taking the time to respond to questions as well!
Take care!
Beth, I have always loved your website and getting great ideas from you! I have two questions for you:
1. Where did you get the display rack for your magazines?
2. I clicked on the link for your Intelliscanner (I too, have many books and it would be sooo much easier to scan them into a database instead of typing every title), but I can't seem to find the exact model you show. I saw another model for $79 but was wondering if yours was cheaper and if it was, what model is it?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, I appreciate it!
I have switched from kindergaren to middle school- what a change! So I am building up my library. Right now, sadly, my books are just on the shelves in no order. After seeing this site though- boy do I have ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm glad my post gave you some ideas for organizing your own books. You are so smart to get your books organized now so that your library will be ready to use when you get your own classroom! Good luck!
I love your idea of having a picture or symbol on the back of your books that match the labels on your book baskets. This sounds like a perfect solution for helping your kindergartners successfully return books to the correct baskets. Good luck with your eventual return to the classroom!
Hi Beth!
Thanks for all your ideas & downloads. I am a substitute teacher looking for my own class. In the meantime, I've been organizing my books. Your site has helped me a tons-thanks for the labels too!
Sara Smith
Wow! I thought I had a lot of books. I have recently moved to a different state, so all of my books are currently in boxes. After seeing how neatly organized your classroom library is, my creative juices are flowing. I love the idea of using the labels on the back of the books, but I will have to use a picture or a symbol for my younger Kindergarten students. It would be wonderful to have so much space for all of books. I can't wait to get back into the classroom. Thanks for sharing your organizational tips. Mary
Hi Christy,
Wow! What a drastic change of profession. I am so happy that you are finally able to fulfill your dream of being a teacher. Good luck with the rest of your elementary certification program. It sure is fun to finally get a classroom of your own when your pre-service days are over!
I am a pre-service teacher, and I am working on my elementary education certification. I am completely switching professions, from accounting to teaching. I have always wanted to be a teacher and am finally able to fulfill that dream. I stumbled across your classroom site when I was looking for racing-themed classroom ideas. I just wanted to let you know that I fell in love with your race-themed room and all the ideas you have. I can only imagine what a fantastic teacher you are! Thanks for all the ideas and I cannot wait for my own classroom to put them to good use!! Christy Edgar

presidentV.23 No.11 | newsThe Daily Word in Mark Zuckerberg's complaints, a WIPP truck and a dog-eating pythonHigh schools are just now catching on that a later start time means healthier students. Did you think beauty rest was a myth? Authorities now think the Malaysian plane that's been missing for almost a week was "deliberately flown off-course." The NSA has made Mark Zuckerberg so mad that he called the President to complain. Police in California arrested a teen father for allegedly biting the nose off his 1-month-old son because he wouldn't stop crying. It's looking like fewer planes are gonna land in Albuquerque. Renatta Torres, mother of Christopher Torres (who was fatally shot by APD almost three years ago), took to the stand to talk about her son. Anthony Samora, 46, is getting life in prison, plus 27 years, for raping and murdering a 16-year-old boy. This was his second conviction for rape. According to a report released today, a truck that caught fire at WIPP was "improperly maintained." I guess this just adds to the many reasons I don't like snakes. V.23 No.9 | newsThe Daily Word in a not-so-dead guy, an epic b-ball shot and Vermont's heroinPresident Barack Obama sheds light on the problems of young minorities in America. A federal appeals court ruled that it wasn't unconstitutional to ask students to remove shirts with the American flag during a Cinco de Mayo celebration in 2010 at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill. You ever watch a movie on Netflix and fall asleep in the middle? And when you wake up, you can't remember where you left off? It looks like some engineers found a solution. Wanna know what Jaws was like? Some researchers got the scoop … "I was shocked at the depth of addiction here," James W. Baker, former director of the Vermont State Police, said in regards to Vermont's current heroin "epidemic." Just in case you missed the basketball game, watch an Eldorado High School girl score the winning shot from 70 feet away, with only 1.7 seconds on the clock. It's pretty awesome. A state auditor claims that the Human Services Department cost New Mexico millions of dollars by mismanaging funds. Albuquerque police are looking for a woman that is stealing from the elderly. To the Lobo fan who threw a cup at an opposing player at a basketball game … they're coming for you. A man who was pronounced dead woke up later in a body bag in the morgue … reminds me of that movie Death Becomes Her. V.22 No.49 | newsThe Daily Word in Mandela's death, bathroom surveillance and bad dirtNelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa, died yesterday at the age of 95. It looks like Carrie Underwood struck gold (not really). Apparently, even though not everyone loved it, The Sound of Music was watched by many. Over 100 people were left dead in Bangui, Central African Republic, due to political unrest between Muslim rebels and Christian citizens. Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston has not been charged with rape. Shaine Sherrill, who was shot by APD officers Sunday afternoon, did not have a gun. Apparently, Sherrill was suicidal and had said he wanted to be shot by police. Just for future reference, when you use the wrong dirt … it might cause some setbacks. Andrew Coppler faces up to nine years in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder for the death of his father. A restaurant owner is facing some scrutiny for putting a surveillance camera in the men's bathroom. Yikes. V.22 No.33 | newsThe Daily Word in Mubarak's potential release, bear maulings and Pistorius' indictmentEgyptian officials are calling for the release of former President Hosni Mubarak from prison, which some say could result in more violence in Egypt. A study shows that US unemployment rates increased in more than half the states in July, and hiring, which has been steady since January, took a slow decline in July as well. Oscar Pistorius, Paralympic champion, is being indicted for premeditated murder for the shooting of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. This is why I don't go jogging in Michigan, Alaska, Colorado, Wyoming … or pretty much anywhere. I don't care if you raised the prices. We came to see some polar bears! UNM has incorporated a new system where students can log in online to report crimes they witness on campus. … because phones are so last year. It's not every day that you pay 25 cents upon receiving a parcel from China. … and then get arrested for it.

Police have identified one of three murder victims in East Cleveland, and they've charged 35-year-old Michael Madison with three counts of aggravated murder. German roller-coaster manufacturer is sending experts to Arlington, Texas to investigate the death of a victim who died while riding the Texas Giant over the weekend. Mohammed Morsi, recently ousted president of Egypt, has gone missing, and family claims he was "abducted by army." Police are investigating the drowning of 19-year-old Matthew Mares in Los Lunas that happened over the weekend. APD to testify today in court in a wrongful death lawsuit in relation to the shooting of 27-year-old Christopher Torres in 2011. Carlsbad farmers could possibly receive less than half the water allotted to them from a network of wells that pump groundwater into the Pecos river. In a nutshell: If you fake cancer and take $9,000 in donations from your community, then you're probably gonna go to jail. V.22 No.29 | 7/18/2013 opinionWhy So Stupid?On Justin Bieber and the lost youth cultureNews publications went haywire over the news that Justin Bieber (you know that Bieber fever is an actual sickness) peed in a bucket before cursing former president, Bill Clinton. It was a landmark day in the career of the former tween pop star who made his mark offering slick rhymes over processed beats and landed straight in the hearts of young girls worldwide, like a wayward arrow from Cupid himself. Now I should admit here and now, before I continue further, that I've never listened to a full Justin Bieber song. I've heard snippets here and there, said "That's enough!" and changed the station without a moment's hesitation. But if you like his music, more power to you. Maybe you can explain it to me. I'd love to hear it. Moving along … after hearing this story, I became even more intrigued with the idea of youth culture. Granted my generation was only a decade ago, I find myself sympathizing and coming up with excuses for our nation's youth all the time. And I think that's just an adult mentality in general. You witness people like Amanda Bynes, Lindsay Lohan and the like, and find yourself either not paying attention (like me) or you find yourself constantly perusing the headlines, trying to see what trainwreck has blow-torched its carcass across the fine print of the day. And for those that don't pay attention, you simply say "Where the hell are the parents?" Because back in our day … they were the answer, if not the reason. So I ask, where are the parents? Where are those people that protect their children against the tyranny and selfishness of the world and raise them to be little warriors that think and feel and make good decisions? People act as if this lapse in youth judgment is a recent tip of the scale. Has the trainwreck/stupid phenomena not been going on for generations? Was the late Corey Haim not going to clubs and bars, getting loaded and having his image splashed in every tabloid that had enough space to welcome it? So, why are people so critical of today's pop stars and young actors? What makes them so special in regard to past generations in terms of who did it worse? By the time I was a teenager, Macaulay Culkin (who I revered as the coolest, loudest, weirdest child to fend off burglars) was already having his mug shot taken. I didn't fret because I figured if you're going to be interested in celebrity, you should read the tell-tale signs, if not follow the comebacks. Robert Downey Jr. anyone? And the only sane words of advice I've heard being given to these young Hollywood dilettantes were from Helen Mirren, who simply said, "Don't be up your own bum." Simple as that. Get your heads out of your asses, get to work, cash your checks, rank up those vacation days and go about your business in a calm, leisurely manner. Unless it is your ultimate goal to look like a buffoon every time the cameras are rolling and there's a tartini to sip. Or maybe it's just a teen angst-inspired rhythm that keeps them dancing the dance of dangerous paths only to find solace in the American courtroom while hearing a judge tell them they've had it all wrong. To them, maybe authority is the answer—but also the cause. One can only wonder. But it's like that saying goes … youth is wasted on the young. Maybe there is some truth to it. But like any grown-up just barely skimming the headlines, you can't help but feel some sort of pity for these lost Barbies and Kens who think convertibles, clothes and coke make for one hefty recipe of a good time. Don't get me wrong, clothes are nice (and essential at times), but where's the weight of such extravagances? And who does it fall on? Everyone else, unless these celebs get better tax people to straighten out the numbers. But as long as these youngsters keep doling out good tabloid headlines, selling issues of papers that usually get the facts wrong, and still make time for red carpet appearances to promote that B-movie that almost went straight to video but managed to find decent distribution, then I'm sure we have even more spicy headlines coming our way. Who knows? Justin Bieber may poop on Mt. Rushmore and say he did it all for the nookie. Or was it the cookie?

Many people would classify Eva Green as a goddess, so it's no surprise to hear that she has been cast as that very thing in prequel
300: Battle Of Artemisia
She's in negotiations to play titular goddess Artemisia, a gold-covered baddie who convinces Persian king Xerxes to head into battle.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter
, Green has entered negotiations for the role, and, should she sign on, she'll add an unexpected sheen of class to what was looking like an uninspired cash-in.
Noam Murro (director of dramedy
Smart People
) is barking down the megaphone on this one, which is expected to open at some point in 2013.
Green will next be seen in Tim Burton's

Apparently they have now been removed...

BMW?!? THEY HAVE A BMW LICENCE?!? Good grief, why would they do that? BMW have very little in the way of exciting cars. Just the M-series...
I believe BMW also make motorcycles and F1 cars.
@Goony: They did make F1 cars, but not anymore.
They make minis though :)
Great find whung! These look interesting...
LEGO Christmas Train... sounds great. Wonder if it's like: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=10173-1
^ On the basis of the set numbers I strongly suspect that all these will be poly bag sets.
BMW!? Damn, I was still holding out for the UCS Toyota Camry.... Seems I'll still have to do that project on my own...
ps: too bad we didn't get a copy of the parts list to predict what they would look like
Sound like poly bags based on set numbers
@maesterjay: UCS... Toyota Camry? You cannot be serious. :P
40049 sounds interesting...
Didn't BMW also make aeroplanes (hence the logo)? Given that its next to the Sopwith Camel?
"40049 Mini Sopwith Camel"
If only it had a tiny little Snoopy flying it.
monster fighters polybag?
also, can someone enlighten me on this 'TT games' product? is it a company?
Sure makes it sound like Monster Fighters will continue into 2013 if the gift with purchase set number (compared to the other set numbers listed) is any indication.
^agreed with cjg. sopwith camel is the one that caught my eye. as for the monster fighters polybag, here's to hoping it includes a monster and not the fighter. :)
TT games is the design developer to the Lego Games (PS3/360/Wii) Not sure if the same developers on the DS/DS3 games.
Since they are in-line with other polybags.. maybe it's a Company specific miniset that we see like those sets for the airlines, that the company employees can purchase or get.
I don't know what it would look like, maybe the TT logo?
http://www.ttgames.com/ It would be their 7th year at making Lego games. Newest one being Batman 2
Aww yeah! Now I may actually buy a model LEGO car.
Seriously hoping that TT game is Lord of the Rings or Hobbit! Think it's the most likely too!
Surprised there's no mention of the Olympic Games sets/minifigs in there. Saw them in a traders magazine in Honiton...
30164 TT Gmes is the lex luthor promo pre order thing http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/cgcj/images/2/26/30164_parts.png
The TT Games set is the promotional Lex Luthor promotional set to be released alongside the LEGO DC Super Heroes game. Look at the resemblance in the pieces:
Image of set: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120328003561/lego/images/f/fa/LegoBatman2_bonusLG.jpg
Replacement Parts page: http://us.service.lego.com/en-GB/replacementparts/default.aspx
^^Ah, cheers for clarifying that. Still holding out hope of a LOTR game though!
Foal, Practice Stage, Pet Parlor and Pool sounds like Friends to me.
Squirrel! :)
I hate to be off topic but here is an update on heatherlegogirl who was missing http://www.queenanneview.com/2012/04/02/heather-braaten-found/ it should be in the news its to sad thought
^Look at link, no bad stuff! ( was afraid to look to) Not a joke dude...
^^ heres what the link said : Missing local woman Heather Braaten was found dead on Sunday afternoon. No other details are available at this time.
^^^It wasnt an april fools joke by the way
^Thank you, dude... Kinda boring news.. but sad.
It's on BZP, shouldn't someone report that to the news? I think some of the others who knew her would like to know...
... Christmas train? I'm sold.
I really hope thats a lego squirrel.
All the numbers seem like they fall in line with the most recent Mini Monthly Model Builds, which were polybagged and numbered 40036-40039, as opposed to how they used to do it without packaging.

'Captain Phillips' premieres at NY festivalBy JAKE COYLE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 30,2013AP PHOTO
Tom Hanks, left, and Capt. Richard Phillips of Vermont, attends the world premiere of "Captain Phillips" during the opening night of the 51st New York Film Festival on Friday in New York.NEW YORK — Tom Hanks has had enough of playing real people.
In Paul Greengrass' docudrama "Captain Phillips," which premiered Friday as the opening night film of the New York Film Festival, he plays Richard Phillips, the captain of a cargo ship famously taken by Somali pirates in 2009.
Earlier this year, Hanks made his Broadway debut playing New York journalist Mike McAlary in Nora Ephron's "Lucky Guy." And later this year, he stars as Walt Disney in "Saving Mr. Banks," about the making of "Mary Poppins."
"I got to get out of this racket," Hanks said sheepishly ahead of the Friday night premiere. "It's killing me."
"Captain Phillips," which is expected to be a major contender in Hollywood's awards season, debuted at the NYFF to enthusiastic reviews and particular acclaim for Hanks' performance.
But playing real-life people comes with various pressures of authenticity. Verisimilitude is a primary aim for Greengrass, who made the true-life tales "United 93" and "Bloody Sunday" with similar documentary-like realism.
Hanks met several times with Phillips at his Vermont home to help prepare for the role.
"You don't want to be an idiot," said Hanks. "You don't want to ask, 'What were you feeling? What was it like? What were you feeling? Are you a hero?' — you know, ask questions like most journalists do when the time comes."
The crowd, composed largely of members of the media, roared.
"Captain Phillips" opens in theaters Oct. 11. The 51st New York Film Festival, which also will feature the premieres of Spike Jonze's "Her" and Ben Stiller's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," runs through Oct. 13.MORE IN Vermont NewsA Montpelier man has been sentenced for trying to kill himself by setting his Elm Street home on...

text: trying to figure out what is the best thing to eat before and after my workouts to lose weight. i work out in the mornings so i only have about 30min by the time i leave the house to digest my food so i know it shouldn't be a meal, just something small to give me energy. i have protein drinks with 70 calories, 2g carbs and 15g protein. is that enough or should i have carbs? i have heard that the protein/cardio combo will help you burn your stored fat for energy. any thoughts on this? what would be a good post workout breakfast?


text:
Exquisitely complex yet rather reserved fruit with medium weight, very earthy flavors of excellent depth and outstanding length. There is plenty of structure here and superb balance overall and I very much like the overall combination of density, purity, elegance and impressive length. While this is certainly approachable now with food, it will be best with another 3 to 5 years of cellar time, perhaps a bit longer.

China Report Wholly-Owned Electrolux China Now Operating in Changsha
by Sean Zhang, China correspondent, APPLIANCE magazine
Electrolux China Co. Ltd., a 100-percent wholly owned division of the Sweden-based home appliance producer AB Electrolux, recently came into operation in Changsha, China.
"We have finished the strategic marketing integration in the whole China region," Don Gadsden, president of Electrolux China, said at the establishment ceremony. In 1996, Electrolux established a joint venture with Zhongyi Group, a domestic refrigerator maker based in Changsha. The company, named Electrolux Zhongyi (Changsha) Refrigerator Co. Ltd., was 60-percent owned by Electrolux , with Zhongyi owning the remaining 40 percent. In September 2003, Electrolux acquired the remaining 40 percent of Zhongyi from its joint-venture partner. After gaining an exclusive ownership, Electrolux has made follow-up investments in a new washing machine production line with an annual production capacity of 500,000 as well as expanding the production capacity of refrigerators. Peter Birch, CEO of Electrolux Asia-Pacific stated: "The Changsha plant will be built as a world-class-equipped manufacturing base as well as our largest production facility in China." The Changsha-registered Electrolux China Co. Ltd. will not only be a manufacturing base for Electrolux, but will also serve as an R&D facility for the appliance company. After implementing strategic regulation in the marketing channel and organizational structure last year, Electrolux will put its major focus on product innovation in 2004, which has been called the "year of products" for Electrolux. Backed up by the ever-expanding investment in China, Electrolux has been well prepared to compete for a higher market share in a wide range of product lineups. The R&D budget of Electrolux China this year is said to be more than 125 million yuan (approx. U.S. $15 million). "Around 50 to 60 percent of our products for sale this year will be newly launched types, which covers our core business sectors such as refrigerators, washing machines, kitchen appliances, and air-conditioners, with more than 50 new models included," Vincent Tai, Director of Marketing & Business development, told APPLIANCE. The strategy of establishing a wholly owned enterprise has been very popular among multinational companies in recent years. Limited by Chinese investment policies put in place in the early 1990s, foreign companies have had to choose the form of joint ventures or cooperative enterprises to start their business in China. However, compared to wholly owned companies, joint ventures aren't always as cost effective. "The establishment of a wholly owned Zhongyi Refrigerator is a symbol of a new development stage, which has far-reaching significance for Electrolux China," said Mr. Gadsden. During a sales conference Electrolux China held a few months ago, Mr. Gadsden announced a sales and marketing budget valued at 250 million yuan (approx. $30 million), a 35-percent leap from 2003. According to Mr. Gadsden, Elextrolux has already established a design center and a global sourcing center in Shanghai, as well as an electronic components R&D center in Shenzhen. "Over the next 3 years, the value of our raw material and semi-production procurement in China will be reaching as high as $1.2 billion annually," Mr. Gadsden said. Until now, Electrolux's total investment in China has been more than $170 million, which makes it one of the largest foreign-invested enterprises in the home appliance industry. According to the company's development schedule, by 2006 it is striving to produce 1.3 million refrigerators and 0.5 million washing machines.

Anoop Pandey '10 Studying Geology of Egypt
July 1, 2009
Anoop Pandey '10 is responsible for distributing the famed "golden bikes" for free student use on campus, but the part of the globe he's studying certainly isn't accessible by bike. This summer, Pandey is using remote sensing to study unusual fold structures along faults in the Western Desert of Egypt. He is working with Upson Chair for Public Discourse and Professor of Geosciences Barbara Tewksbury.

Peptides are Subject of Matthew Baxter '11 and Jason McGavin '12 Research
June 25, 2009
Jason McGavin '12 and Matthew Baxter '11 understand that a peptide's structure can say a lot about how it functions in the body. This summer, they are studying two versions of the peptide Piscidin – Piscidin 1 and Piscidin 3. They will work alongside Associate Professor of Chemistry Myriam Cotten, whose previous work in this field has illustrated that there is a distinct difference between them.

Students Researching Posture-Based Movement Model in 3-D Space
June 23, 2009
Deborah Barany '11 and Anthony Sali '10 describe motor control in a way that would remind a listener of flip-book animation. An action consists of smaller, partial movements, that when assembled together and in the right fashion, trigger the complete maneuver. Similarly, flip books rely on persistence of vision to create the illusion of fluid motion, when in reality, they are just discontinuous images stapled together.

Courtney Flint '11 Examines Relationships Between Continental Soldiers and Citizens
June 22, 2009
When Courtney Flint '11 was five years old, she learned what it was like to be a colonial American. Her aunt belonged to a group called Past Masters whose members dress in period clothing and resurrect the behavior, skills and lifestyles of Americans during the Revolutionary War era. Flint joined her aunt in these activities and watched the battle re-enactments that were often popular attractions. The raucous canon blasts and trim uniforms intrigued Flint, and as she grew older, she began to wonder about the relationship between the soldiers and the citizenry.

Elyse Williamson '10 and Professor Tewksbury Explore Iceland's Volcanoes
June 19, 2009
During the last Ice Age, the whole country of Iceland was covered in a thick sheet of ice. From an aerial view, most of the island would have appeared to be in a state of frigid serenity. But under the ice, chaos ensued – massive volcanoes entombed in the ice erupted often, causing the overlying ice to melt. As the hot lava erupted into cold water, explosions occurred, depositing fragmented rock and glass with few lava flows.

Students Collect Sediments to Get to the Bottom of Oneida Lake Erosion
June 16, 2009
"I like rocks," said Manique Talaia-Murray '12 with a bashful grin. It might sound like a dull pursuit, but to Talaia-Murray and her research partner, Travis Tomaselli '11, rocks can uncover the past in interesting ways. They say that the chemical contents of a rock reveal a lot about its previous whereabouts, and their collaborative research project is a perfect example.

Brian Milstone '10 and Caroline Pierce '10 Examine Self-Complexity
June 15, 2009
It's hard to imagine that a single human being occupies an enormous number of social spheres. Typically, a person who is relatively humble will feel that he assumes only a few roles in his immediate community. The degree to which a person can identify and differentiate his numerous roles and traits is called self-complexity. Brian Milstone '10 and Caroline Pierce '10 predict that low self-complexity yields low self-esteem, and could lead to a greater likelihood of depression.

I have always wanted to teach. When I was a kid I used to play "school" with my older sisters and frequently played the part of "teacher." At my preschool graduation we performed a song about the future, dressed as who we wanted to be when we grew up. Who was I? Yep. A teacher. Complete with shiny shoes, an apple in hand, and pipe cleaner glasses. It was a sight.
Fast forward a few decades, and some of the strongest influencers in my life have remained the leaders of the classrooms in which I sat. They inspired, motivated, and challenged me to not only be a better student, but to find my passion in life.
Now, this story would make sense if it ended with me choosing the career path of a full-time teacher, right? Well, it doesn't—at least not entirely.
I have found my passion in life, but it doesn't only consist of leading a classroom.
I wake up every morning with the anticipation of working closely with others to help them meet their goals. That desire combined with my passion for creativity led me into the world of advertising. I began my advertising career in Account Services, and through honing my craft have evolved into the role of a Marketing Strategist.
Fortunately, my passion and skills have not only landed me my dream job at Punch, but it has brought me into classroom leadership as an Adjunct Professor at VCU. There it is. Teaching.
Teaching in the Advertising program not only helps me inspire and motivate others, but also keeps my mind moving at warp speed, challenges me to practice what I preach, and allows me to bring back fresh ideas to apply to our client work.
My course, titled "Empathy," revolves around teaching the next generation of advertising pros the basics of account service and how to best serve clients. This means I get lots of questions about my job and what agencies are really like. "What do you do all day?" is the most frequent question I get asked by my students.
And, I love when it's asked. It presents me with the opportunity to educate and inspire.
Often, I think people expect me to answer that question by describing a day full of competitiveness and high-stress drama similar to what they see on Mad Men. At Punch, however, it's very different.
I work for an agency that values life outside of the office and people beyond their talents. Yes, I have to meet deadlines that challenge me, and I'm called upon to pull off projects that I never thought were possible, but at the end of the day I know everyone at Punch values me for more than just the work I do and the role I fill. And to me, that is inspiring.
Punch's culture has influenced the way I do my job and how I spend my time at work. When I first joined Punch as a member of the Account Services team, it became clear that in order to be good at my job I must first focus on people, then on the task at hand. From that moment on, I knew I was in an industry that allowed me to fulfill my passion of working with others.
Most days, I have calls or meetings with clients or prospective clients to discuss business goals, target audience needs, and solutions that bridge the two together. These conversations ebb and flow between visionary dreams and the day-to-day tactics.
Which means I have to understand the way the person on the other end of the phone or across the table from me dreams big and how they manage their daily to-do list. Their strengths and challenges, hopes and fears are crucial to the success of the work and the health of our partnership.
So, how do we do this at Punch? It's not fancy or proprietary. We listen.
A wise friend once told me, "Listening is not waiting for your turn to speak." Listening is about truly hearing what someone is saying, understanding the meaning, and responding in a way that addresses a thoughtful solution.
Our vision at Punch is to stay one step ahead of our clients' needs, which means we take listening pretty seriously. As a Marketing Strategist, it is my job to take what I have heard, understand all variables, and develop strategic plans that present opportunities for our clients to meet their goals.
Sound familiar? It's what my teachers did for me, and it's what I am fortunate enough to do every day for my clients and students—understand needs, identify goals, and motivate to achieve. Because someone listened to me a decade ago, I found potential and outgrew my pipe cleaner glasses.

I'm happy to have my fellow writer, Joey, of the 6 Collected Editions Worthy Of Your Attention feature, to provide his own review of Episode 1. My own review follows.
Agents of SHIELD was my most anticipated show of the new TV season. The show that was promoted as the best thing since sliced bread. Was it? No. Did I have a good time? Yes, I did. I enjoyed how it tied into the Marvel Movieverse, and all the little hints of things to come. I even enjoyed all of the cast members, and seeing Phil Coulson again. However there were a few things that annoyed me about the scripting/pacing. The one that is most glaring is the forced humor. Not every character needs to be a comedian. Jokes should be spontaneous, not something happens in every single scene of the show. It killed the flow of things at times. There was also some great smaller CG work, however the bigger CG was pretty bad for a Network tv show. Seen better stuff on some of the better Syfy shows of the past. The show has me just because I am a big fan of the marvel universe, but Arrow on CW set the bar for me on how good a Super Hero Show can be on TV, It's gonna take some work to get up to that level. I hope it does, It has promise.
…and now my take – Chris
I have to say I've been very excited for the premiere of Marvel's Agents Of SHIELD. I've been a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and so is my son, Patrick. We sat down at 8p to watch it together and sure enough the mentions of Iron Man, Hulk and the rest of The Avengers and the films were in full force. Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) with some added help from Agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) assembles a team within the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division to take on problems before they become bigger threats. The big question on everyone's mind is how Coulson returned after being killed off by Loki in Marvel's The Avengers? We don't get a full answer, but It seems that Agent Hill knows more then she's letting on. LMD perhaps? We may never know.
Moving on to the plot itself, it reminded me of "the freak of the week" that Smallville was famous for in the early seasons. I hope that isn't the case here, but if SHIELD is in the superhero hunting/gathering business, then we'll have to live with it for the time being. One thing is for sure, Coulson & Crew are in the game to register these new "superheroes", he said so himself. This sets up an interesting dynamic that was teased in the movies but even more so in the pages of the Marvel event, Civil War. It's never to early to speculate that it could all lead to a major brew-ha-ha in Avengers 3. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, after all this is only episode 1.
Like any good espionage TV show, there is always a shadowy figure or organization. In Marvel's Agents Of SHIELD we get Rising Tide. It could be an arm of AIM – or even something greater like what is revealed in the pages of Nick Fury Vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. What we do know is that Rising Tide was behind the "Centipede" device that transformed peaceful Mike Peterson into a super human. Super-Soldier Serum and Gamma radiation seems to be at the heart of the experiment, which indeed, is very troubling for SHIELD and will be an ongoing sub-plot throughout the season.
After this, first show, I'm all in. And so is my son. But I won't rest until I see Nick Fury, himself, in his little red Corvette.
